Rich gifts upon the worshipper.

7 Away he rushes with his stream, across the

regions, into heaven,
And roars as he is flowing on.
8 While flowing, meet for sacrifice, he hath
gone up to heaven across
The regions, irresistible.
9 After the 'way of ancient time, this God,
pressed out for Deities,
Flows tawny to the straining-cloth.
10 This Lord of many Holy Laws, even at his
birth engendering strength,
Effused, flows onward in a stream.

And make us better than we are.

Soma, all felicities;
And make us better than we are.
3 Win skilful strength and mental power. O
Soma, drive away our foes;
And make us better than we are.
4 Ye purifiers, purify Soma for Indra, for his
drink:
Make thou us better than we are.
5 Give us our portion in the Sun through thine
own mental power and aids;
And make us better than we are.
6 Through thine own mental power and aid
long may we look upon the Sun;
Make thou us better than we are.
7 Well-weaponed Soma, pour to usa stream of
riches doubly great;
And make us better than we are.
8 As one victorious unsubdued in battle pour
forth wealth to us;
And make us better than we are.
9 By worship, Pavamana! men have
strengthened thee to prop the Law:
Make thou us better than we are.
10 O Indu, bring us wealth in steeds, manifold.
